Dr. Smith, DMD admires work ethic of beavers, despite confrontation Roger D.Smith DMD writes: Dear Ed: When we moved from the city to the banks of the mighty Russell Creek, I discovered that I had an infestation of the toothy little rodents living in one area of my bottom land. By nature, and not being a violent man, I admired the little rascals at their work and basically left them to their own devices until they felled three very nice poplar trees of about sixteen inches in diameter. It was then that I noticed that if the tree they decided to fell was no more than about one and a half inches through then they chewed at a very acute angle from one direction leaving a very sharp point. If the tree was greater in diameter then they felled it as if it had been put through a pencil trimmer. Either way this created a hazard to tractor tires and clumsy humans who might have a fall. Unfortunately, I had to do a little dozer work and encourage them to move to a more secluded spot. Even with hassle I still admire the little guys work ethic. --Roger D.Smith DMDComments re article 49661 Kentucky Color Beaver lodge 2012-01-27 17:33:09 | Comments | Printable version

JIM: Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine By JIM This bit of humor appeared in the April 6, 1904 News. In that era, it was quite legal to send and receive intoxicating spirits through the mail. We Can't Always Tell Not long ago a prominent merchant in a neighboring town received a letter from a large distillery firm, asking [for] a list of names of citizens who might be interested in the literature issued by the firm setting forth the merits of a new brand of whiskey and promising him commission on all sales. The merchant being somewhat of a joker, sat down and made a list of the prominent prohibitionists of the place and forwarded it. He forgot all about the matter until a month later when it was called to his attention by a letter from the distillers enclosing a draft of $16.50 with thanks for the list, which had been found particularly remunerative. Sixteen and a half dollars in 1904 had the purchasing power of about $400 today. - JIM 2012-01-27 08:01:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

Kentucky Color - Beaver lodge Comfortable quarters with underwater entrances afford high and dry lifestyle for the aquatic and mostly nocturnal animals, plentiful in this area - but rarely noticed by most, except for those who go looking: Naturalists like the writer, habitat altering Corps (plural, spelled same as singular, for Great Wooded South Lexicon readers) or for those for whom the location of photo is not revealed, the writers' friends and trappers. Sometimes, the writer notes - and for reasons known but to these fascinating natural engineers alone - the lodges are sited streamside. Click on headline for essay and photo(s) By Billy Joe Fudge Traditionally, beaver build dams on small streams to impound water to an appropriate depth for lodge building. They then build their lodges or homes beginning on the stream bed to three, four, or five feet above the level of the water. The room is high and dry above the water level with an underwater entrance for safety and access during extended cold weather when the surface of the stream is frozen. Beaver however, will take to stream-bank lodge building when the stream's flow rate is too fast and the volume of flow is too great to be conducive for lodge building in the stream itself. This beaver lodge is located within plain site about a hundred yards from a highway. For now I am not divulging the location so as to protect the innocent. The entrance is located beneath the water line and the living quarters are almost on top of the bank beneath the sticks, limbs and debris which are all cemented together with mud. - Billy Joe Fudge 2012-01-27 05:13:25 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge
The Story of the Survivalist Skunk and the Sulphur Well Sure-Shooting Mama Mama packs heat and fires with deadly accuracy. Snakes and skunks beware. Most of the time. But the offspring of a 'rabid' varmint are laughing their rears off in Sulphur Well, retelling the time their ancestor played possum and outwitted the Annie Oakley of North Metcalfe after being killed - over and over and over and over - times ten , perpetuating another great tradition of Leftwich women to practice deja vu all over again and again and again. Somewhere in heaven, Daddy is still laughing, too. By Jane Todd Marcum When I came on to CM tonight, I did a search for new pictures of my new niece, Hailey Elizabeth. I also did a search on Mom's name to see the picture of her and another little niece, Tillie.
